Finding Faith in a Skeptical World is written by Chet Galaska, a former atheist. This down-to-earth book covers subjects that once stood between him and faith. Some chapters deal with matters of faith such as prayer, redemption, salvation and sin. Others address issues like Christian hypocrisy, why bad things happen, miracles, Satan and the Christian view of war. Some are about the seemingly contradictory relationship between science and religion that are discussed in chapters on scientific perception, creation and evolution. Other subjects like the sometimes violent and cruel history of Christianity, “Born Agains” and the Christian view of the Jewish people don’t fit neatly into any category. The common denominator is that each addresses an issue that can be misunderstood and create a distorted, negative view of the faith. The book was written with the intent of providing brief shortcuts for curious unbelievers, those seeking faith, those new to it, and for Christians who may not be familiar with some of the ideas covered. (from the publisher)
MY REVIEW
This is a good book on the basic tenets of the Christian faith and the questions many people have about them. Galaska writes clearly and concisely. The chapters are short and easy to read. Each chapter begins with a question telling the reader exactly what the chapter will be about. This book would be perfect for seekers and new believers.

Thanks for reviewing Chet's book. I truly enjoyed this book myself. Not only is it good for new Christians, but for those who seek ways to share faith with skeptics.

I'd LOVE to read this. I've been asking tons of questions of a friend from high school who's now a preacher. He might get a little break from me, and I might find some answers in this book!
I would like to read about how he became a Christian, about faith, and everything!
